The official opening day for Hardee’s in Millington will be Jan. 4, 2017.

The Millington location will join the recent arrivals of the Hardee’s in Memphis on Summer Ave. and Kirby-Whitten Road.

Wilber Hardee opened his first namesake restaurant in Greenville, N.C. in 1960. Five months later he had his first franchise and over the years his burger chain has spread to become a favorite throughout the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.

Hardee’s is famous for its biscuits, all that changed during the Revolution of 2003. Hardee’s decided to pare down its menu and focus on the hearty 1/3-, 1/2- and 2/3-pound Thickburger line made with 100 percent angus beef, Thickburgers.
